A modified microsurgical model for end-to-side selective portacaval shunt in the rat: intraoperative microcirculatory investigations [PDF]
PURPOSE: To investigate the intraoperative microcirculatory changes of the affected organs (small bowel, liver and kidney) during the making of a modified selective portacaval (PC) shunt.

Portacaval Anastomosis: the Longest Shunt [PDF]
A 34–year–old patient with cryptogenic cirrhosis underwent a portacaval shunt after four episodes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. His subsequent course is remarkable not onle because of its 26–year duration, but also because of the absence of any subsequent hepatic decomensation such as jaundice, ascites, coagulopathy or ...

Portacaval anastomosis-induced hyperammonemia does not lead to oxidative stress [PDF]
Ammonia is neurotoxic and believed to play a major role in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). It has been demonstrated, in vitro and in vivo, that acute and high ammonia treatment induces oxidative stress.

Effect of portacaval anastomosis on glutamine synthetase protein and gene expression in brain, liver and skeletal muscle [PDF]
The effects of chronic liver insufficiency resulting from end-to-side portacaval anastomosis (PCA) on glutamine synthetase (GS) activities, protein and gene expression were studied in brain, liver and skeletal muscle of male adult rats.

Late Bleeding Episodes Following Intestinal Transplantation: It Is Not Always Rejection or Infection. [PDF]
Ectopic varices have been reported in 5% of children presenting with variceal bleeding and are defined as portosystemic venous collaterals occurring anywhere in the abdomen except in the cardioesophageal region. The liver‐intestinal transplant or isolated liver‐intestinal transplant patient presenting several years post‐transplant with ectopic variceal

The mechanisms involved in the development of hepatic encephalopathy still remain uncertain. The rodent portacaval shunt is a model that reproduces many of the pathological features observed in humans (1), but is a technically demanding exercise.
